Twitch Dev Tracker

This is exactly how I feel.

Comics are good, at least the fact that they're sanctioned by Square makes me feel like that's the canon finale. But I found some of the fanfic better than the comics, tbh.

I don't regret playing it either, even if I still want to cry sometimes when I think of it.

Thanks. I've always been pretty good at managing my emotions and moving on... but somehow in this case it feels like I'd be betraying a friend or something.

There is a nostalgia factor, but I've realized that the part that hurts the most is the scene at the bathroom in the absolutely-wrong-you-should-never-pick ending. Seeing Max there just broke me.

Randomly saw this, feel free to reach out if you want any help. I'm a Michigan Alumn so it caught my attention :).

We had a couple of calls yesterday with BlindlyPlayingGames and SuperBlindMan. It was a very healthy dialogue with specific things that we're taking away from it. It actually seems like there were very specific changes that we made that ended up hurting overall accessibility, where other things were still performing well. Luckily many of the things we build are reused throughout the site, which means addressing some changes in one place will cascade to other places.

We also identified that we've had issues routing these reports to the right team to take care of them. We'll be working on that as well, but I am happy to extend an open offer to help direct feedback to the right teams at Twitch.

Be looking for some of the changes that were discussed on the calls to be reflected in the Creator Updates section of the dashboard.

Yeah, we've heard that feedback too. We'll probably add another quick action in the store that lets you add stream markers with titles.

You're welcome! Glad the guide worked for you!

I posted in the other thread, but I just found this one too.

I'm the Product Manager on the new Creator Dashboard, and you can reach out to me directly, I'd love to talk about this and get a better understanding. Our goal was to make this page easier to use; it's clear that we also made it harder to use as well.

I can't speak for other teams but I can promise that we will be prioritizing work for the Dashboard related to accessibility bugs and features.

I'm bad at Reddit DMs but if you ping me a Discord or a Twitter profile, I'll follow up 100%.

FWIW This hit me right in the feels.

I'm the Product Manager responsible for the new Dashboard. I'm reaching out the Brandon directly, as well as reviewing and prioritizing outstanding accessibility tickets and features.

I can't, won't, pin the blame on anyone or anything in particular; but I will promise to do better.

yvw!

Not sure yet! Hopefully soon. It’s one of the most asked for changes.

Yeah, the new OBS features are on our minds right now. For now, you should be able to pop out individual panels you want and then including the pop out URL in OBS. If that doesn’t make sense or do quite what you want let me know.

If I understand the question right it should be https://dashboard.twitch.tv :)

Hi! I’m one of the dashboard devs. I wrote a very unofficial guide for how to hack it out for now if you want: https://blog.d8a.me/how-to-get-rid-of-stream-preview-on-creator-dashboard-7ee1746e9635

Happy to chat with anyone who's serious about it.

It definitely varies from team to team. As a Product Manager, my daily schedule is quite intense with a lot of meetings.

My honest opinion is, which I would give about any established company, don't assume you can join the team you want and fix all of the problems. Things that seem easy are sometimes hard and sometimes things that seem hard are easy. Really takes some time to understand what's what at any company.

I hear Poko’s frustration, but I’m not very sympathetic considering I’ve never heard anyone universally love a meta. OWL also sets the meta far less than he would believe.

Personally, I’m frustrated that the playoffs will be a different meta than stage 4, which was a different meta from stage 1-3. Considering most teams earned their playoff spots based on their ability to play GOATS, I don’t feel like the grand finals will say a lot about who the best team is. I wish they didn’t make balance changes during the season. Considering GOATS was starting to evolve in stage 3 I wish they finished the season without 2/2/2.

I am a dev (though not on overwatch)

As a mechanism for testing changes you aren’t wrong. PTR is a great place to make low risk changes to the game. I think the piece you’re underestimating is how to decide what changes need to be made. With changes that have large consequences like 2/2/2, you need to collect data on what’s happening for a period of time to know what’s really working and what isn’t. Changes based on anecdotal evidence doesn’t work and leads to making things worse. PTR isn’t a good place to sample consequences. Scrims aren’t even a great place for that. OWL determines meta less than Poko believes (GOATS wasn’t invented in OWL, remember). It doesn’t reflect the OW community overall and if you overly rely on data there you’ll get nasty surprises later. PTR is usually meant for validating already well tested assumptions.

Watching Shock vs Titans in stage 1 and 2 was peak Overwatch for me. That was the definition of a beautiful game.

The greatest trick the spitfire ever pulled was convincing the world they never sandbag
